New Indian pellet guns to be used on Kashmiris are making a comeback

[Naheed Janjua]

With the killing of Burhan Wani, Hizbul militant, by Indian forces last year, protest broke out against this action. CRPF personnel used pellet guns for crowd dispersion which resulted in more than 69 deaths, with approximately 600 people being blinded.

Global pressure made India move away from using pellet gun in Kashmir
However, pellet gun was replaced with chilli-based PAVA (Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide) shells after a global protest against the use of pellet guns. Because these less-lethal shells proved ineffective in dispersing the stone pelting crowd, CRPF requested BSF workshop for the deployment of deflector muzzle pellet guns.

K. Durga Prasad, Director General of Central Reserve Police Force (CPRF), said, “The force has taken the decision to modify pellet guns, with the help of BSF (Border Security Force), to minimize injuries.”

Back to new version of pellet guns in Kashmir
Mr. Prasad said earlier this week that the new pellet guns are equipped with a ‘deflector’. The purpose of this deflector is to stop the bullet from ascending and with this muzzle the shrapnel will not hit a target above abdominal region.

A CPRF officer said, “We have asked our men to fire at the feet now… By using a deflector, there is only a two percent chance that the shot fired may hit above the point of aim as compared to the rate of 40 percent earlier.”

We need to give those Kashmir freedom fighters some RPG and MANPADs.

This pellet gun issue has been a PR disaster for the Indian government. If not for the total lack of credibility enjoyed by Pakistan when it wails about Kashmir, we would be facing some serious heat from other countries.

Replacing pellet guns with AK47s would be a much better decision. Shoot 'em stone pelters in the head & chest.

That would be great. Imagine how many more little kids could you kill with them

In retaliation if rebellion grows which is already grown than don't cry if they fire at Indian army and BSF it's all out war than fight like man don't cry like dogs who only bark

You forget who your ancestors were, and how they accepted defeat and got converted, mine fought and so i still retain my identity.
P.S. we will use pellet guns and you wont be able to do shit


These Jihadi insects needs something better, we should construct a jail on one of the barren Andaman Nicobar island and they should be labatomized and jailed for lifetime far away from Kashmir.


If they are dedh drohi then lots and lots of them

Mr punitive they are not deshtrohi because they never call India as Deshpande and they are freedom fighters they have right to fight for their land if they are still deshtrohi than biggest deshtrohi is Lal Bahadur shastri and bhaghat Singh either accept truth or go with lies

We don't cry like pakistanis... Crying from across the border but got no balls to cross LOC to help your beloved kashmiris brothers. Tanks will roll over their corpses & all you'll do is cry in UN as always.

don't cry like dogs who only bark

What a contradictory statement, a person whose country undertakes operations like jarb e azb should not teach us what we should do.

Same goes for baloch people, let me tell you Kashmir is not there County, Kashmir pandito ka hai!

Please do, give them to the stone pelters. Perfect excuse to shoot them.

 

[CBU-105]

They should get those sand bullet guns the Israelis use and shoot them in the azs every time they pick up a stone.

 

[adil_minhas]

Regardless of the turnback to pellet guns instead of live ammo, one hopes at least the covering stone barrage for militants by miscreants will now be dealt with by lethal force.

 

[punit]

We need to give those Kashmir freedom fighters some RPG and MANPADs.

dont worry .. they will come back to bite ur own *** .. just like they are doing it now !!

so bad .. we should adopt pakistani methodology . where 100s of terrorist are killed by Brave hearts after each blast drama.

 

[$@rJen]

We need to give those Kashmir freedom fighters some RPG and MANPADs.

It'll give us more reasons to whoop their butts and makes our case strong internally..
there's something you'll never realize that the world sees your act of terrorism in J&K that's why you don't get any support/

 

[Brickwall]

Its better we identify the ring leaders of stone pelters, and make example of them.Cheaper and cleaner then debate and loss on both sides.

Maim , kill or make the example of so called leaders who put children in front, so every new wannabe leader think 100 times before instigating anyone.
